Research students


Conducting research is a valuable and rewarding opportunity: it introduces you to cutting edge questions and techniques in modern mathematics. It also builds advanced problem solving and technical reading/communication skills which are crucial for those pursuing graduate school, but also for future careers in business, industry, and government sectors requiring analytical reasoning.
Students who are interested in joining the research group should contact me for more information.
